Chapter 10- an Ear full and then some- Kane.

"You are without a doubt the most careless mortal I have ever encountered! I would strike you down here and now but I am forbidden to!" Raiden yelled at me on the rooftop just hours before Raw took to the air.

"Raiden, he's a different man, he never had a soul of his own. Beside that, he's developed quite a nice rep in the back. He wrestles well and gets along with the others" I shot back to him. "I wanted to give him a second chance"

Raiden had the lightning in his eyes. "He didn't deserve a second chance. You know why he did what he did?" he demanded of me.

"Because he had no soul" I shot back.

"Damn right he didn't… what are you saying?" Raiden caught the tone I spoke to him in. Knowing I discovered something.

"Listen he didn't have a soul of his own. I gave him one. It's a combination of everyone in my locker room and those who have passed on donated a part of themselves to the cause. He's different since he's able to pick and choose what he wants to be. He never had that choice did he?" I asked.

Raiden looked at me oddly. "Never had that choice?"

"You told me he was your brother correct?"

Raiden rolled his eyes. "In god terms we are supposed to see one another and brother and sister. We aren't physically family," he explained.

"Well then, that explains abit. But when I faced him, I could sense that void he had. His soul was taken. You have one. I can sense it in you. Yet his was gone. It was taken from him, no doubt," I told him.

Raiden looked stunned to say the least. "I never knew that, I had always thought he chose to be evil," he whispered. Our conversation came to an end, as we went back inside. I was in my normal clothing once more, bald appearance and all when I ran into Dante. He was getting his wrestling gear ready; he was looking at different outfit. "Uh… the trunks don't work for me," he said as he was given the choice of trunks of spandex pants.

"Good choice. It chaffs down there, not to mention the friction" I smirked to him. He laughed back as he saw the design of may pants.

"Can I make them… the way I want to?" he asked of me. I nodded to him. Dante wanted a dragon on his; he said he couldn't explain why. But he loved the logo on it.

I could see the grin on Raiden's face seeing how Dante was, and quite frankly. He's done some things that remind me of the guys. One being pranks, he's done a few in the past few hours. One really brought back the reminder of Owen still being around it. Vince was walking up and down the halls when he came to us. "Anyone seen my brief case?" he asked.

I shook my head no; Dante keeping a straight face shook his head too. "We'll let you know though Vince" he replied. When Vince was gone, he started to laugh. Just the look of laughter got to me, I started laughing too.

"What did you do with it?" I whispered.

"Ceiling fan" was his reply. Oh yeah, defiantly Owen.

Raiden was even shocked; he pulled me off to the side. "How on earth did you give him a soul again?" he demanded of me.

"They were small portions donated. He has a bit of everyone in him. Like I told you before. He can choose what he wants to be, and what makes him happy" I replied back.

Rejoining Dante, he began to look at things that would define his character a little more. One being a shirt, he wanted something bold and daring. Yet also stuck out. He took his old emperor armor and wore that with his dragon pants. He looked rather impressive, hell he could pass as a road warrior in the Legion of Doom! But he was ready.

You could feel the excitement he had, and the energy. I swear… even though I had only heard through word of mouth and knew what Shao Kahn was like. I think he has never been this happy before. He came to me and gave me a pat on the shoulder. "Don't I need my own theme music?" he asked of me.

Hey he was right, and I knew just the band for him. Yet getting permission that was another part.

I tried making a call, yet no one was picking up the phone. Perhaps he could come out to mine until I heard Snitsky say. "HEY! Disturbed is in the front row!"

Perfect. I sent one of the security guys down to bring them back stage. The band was more than happy to come. When they came face to face with me, I shook all their hands. "Hey guys, welcome… I got an odd favor to ask of you"

I gave them the story of Dante; he's a new guy and needs a theme song. I asked them if he could use the song ten thousand fists.

The band was stunned. "Oh hell yeah!" they replied, I brought Dante to meet them. Their jaws dropped. "Damn, he's huge!"

"Yeah, this is my bro, Dante." The band was all for us using the song, it wasn't a problem. The band hung out back stage for a while as I let Dante listen to his theme. He fell in love with it instantly.

"It's perfect bro. Just perfect for me!"

Good, now we got that settled. I think Dante is ready for a new title reign.

We were in the back when Eric Bischoff announced that I would be getting tag team title shot. Yet he made a stipulation to it. "Since Kane, like to pick on people his own size I have made a small stipulation. One. Kane cannot pick someone who he has already tagged with, example the Big Show. Two, Let's make it that it has to be a blood relative. Last but not least, it can't be from Smackdown" The crowd was booing him like hell, it made it look like that I would be alone in this. No one was aware of Dante. Yet when the match came. Cade and Murdock were out in the ring. I came out next, baring a concerned look on my face. I just got to the ring apron when the song ten thousand fists blasted through the arena. Dante stormed out, I gave the most shocking look I could. Dante kept at the top of the ramp, grabbing a mic.

"I KNEW IT!" he yelled out. "I knew I would find you… my brother!" he cried.

I got off the ring apron and looked to him oddly. Dante held papers suppose to be 'maternity papers' Eric stormed down to confront him.

"Security!" he yelled.

But Dante shook his head. "You can't do that to me, after all. Mrs. Linda McMahon had signed me to a contract!" he shot back. Eric snatched the papers from his hand, looking them over. I got to applaud Eric's acting ability. For he fainted then and there! Dante turned back to me with a grin, and his eyes came apone Cade and Murdock. He bolted to the ring, really fast. I think that's what got him in the crowd's mind. For he may think he's a mortal, yet he still has his power and strength. Dante stood at my side when we struck down Cade and Murdock, it would be one of the shortest tag matches ever. Since Dante still needed a little more training with his powers. The match ended in 5 minutes. We were new tag team champions!

Dante proudly displayed his belt around his waist, and pulled me into am embrace. "I'm so happy Kane," he whispered in my ear. I was rather stunned to hear that from him. Yet the celebration wasn't met to last. Where I made my portal, only to have it close… was blown open. This time a really odd-looking person came though; the look on Dante's face said it all. The guy was in red mainly, holding an odd looking staff in his hands and had a long pointy hat. He dropped his title and backed into the corner. "Shinnok" he whispered.

Damn it, just when things were getting good.
